Civic Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,937 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Civic maps to a single census tract in Hales Corners, WI and houses 2,937 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Hales Corners baseline of 29.8%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10.

The filing record is not thin: 61 evictions logged in this tract. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

3.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 2.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2017, is well off that peak.

Against average income of $93,359, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,305, close to the Hales Corners average.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
